  • 5/5 Buddhimal W. 11 months ago on Google
    How to reach: Colombo> Pussalawa (Gampola Nuwara Eliya road)> Delta Estate> Perettasi estate> start of the hike. Mode of transport: Not by a car van Off road vehicle is much easy as road is damaged also there is a bus public bus(Perattasi estate bus )on specific times. Hike takes 2-3 hours to the summit descend takes nearly an hour. It is cold up there me and my friend went on December. This is a very good place for anyone who interested in hiking or camping 🏕 Range of flowers from Asoka, Maharath, Nelu is around. Top is a flat area, this place has a majestic value to the land, flora and fauna too. We also see some scenic sceneries of kothmale reserviour, sripada, knuckles, piduruthalagala, kikiliyamana, onetree hills, pudalu oya, great western, thotupola, kabaragala, peacock hills, ambiluwawa, to the summit and few to the starting point of estate area.

    Chariot path of King Ravana is a plain grassland on a top of mountain range which is surrounded by a pigmy forest. The chronicles mention that this path was initially built to use “Dandu Monaraya”, flying vehicle of King Ravana to fly over his kingdom. Ancient stories reveal that this was the path which was used to show the elegance, grace and the spectacular views of his kingdom and Sri Lanka to Queen Seetha from India. This mesmerize path is situated in Pussellewa which belongs to Kandy District hidden in Frotoft Tea Estate in Sri Lanka. A person who start his/her journey from Colombo should reach Pussellewa first. Then you need to go to Peretttasi village which is nearly 12km away from Pussellewa town. We picked the Perettasi bus from Pussellewa town and it was the easiest way to reach there as the road through hills was not an easy task to go. It took 1.30hr -2hrs to reach Perettasi village/Frotoft estate.

    It was really amazing place where related to the hindu epic Ramayana and it has a road on the top which belong to king ravana and Seetha's tear pond and meny more, and that location full of biodiversity because lot of endemic flowers and plants, if you want to reach this beautiful location you should go to the Pussallawa city which base on central province sri lanka and there is a bus service to the petrasi and it will take 100 lkr for ride and on the village called petrasi there where lot of local villagers ready to guide you and if you want you can hire them to the top first there is a tea state you have to cross and last you can see a small road lead to the mountain via beautiful green frost and one thing you muat fallow that the frost belong to the animals and do not hunt or make unnecessary noise and protect the environment so they will protect you entire the journey, and most of the time top place covering by mits and you should ready for the rain because lot of waterfall starting from the top, so no need to carrying much water because that water you can ues to drink and leach will be there and try to use leach shoks or nesassry protection. And please do not engage with local peoples and give some respect to them because those peoples are living peaceful life on there way. Always remember, do not carrying plastic or thing which can not disposal by nature and if you see some of that please collect and bring to the bottom place and dispose or throw to the garbage

    Chariot Path is a hilly plain in the Nuwara Eliya district of Sri Lanka. It is believed to be the place where King Ravana brought Sita to show her the beauty of Sri Lanka. Till today no vegetation has grown on the plain and it consists only of grass. The chariot trail opens up to beautiful views of the central hills, including stunning views of Sri Pada Shuddha Kanda.

    very scenic trail throughout misty mountain and tea estates. Bus service is available from Pussellewa town, but only two times a day. should bring enough food. water sources are available along the trail and on the summit. best time to be on the summit is early morning to enjoy the misty view of sorroundings.

    Magnificent view from the top. Pass Perettasi Bus Stop and start walking! Road is not good unless you have a 4WD. Best option is to take the Perettasi Bus which is another different experience. Avoid single use polythene and leave the place clean. The place is enriched with natural water sources which need to be protected by outside visitors. If you visit the place, do not forget to see the sunrise!

  • 5/5 Rehan M. 4 years ago on Google
    Good place for camping. Crystal clear water & enough firewood can be found on the top.. Historical Importance: Known as the location that king Ravana landed his Dandu Monaraya.. Geographical Situation: Chariot Path is located on the top of a mountain. Top is nearly flat. Full of grass & bushes. No large trees can be found on the top. Super clean water fountain is there throughout whole year. How to reach: From Pussellawa, there is a bus to Frotoft (පෙරෙට්ටාසි) tea estate. After the Frotoft village, the bus stops at the abandoned old hospital. You can reach up to that point from your own vehicle as well. Even though, a 4WD vehicle is highly recommended. From that point, a hike is ahead. After passing the tea estate & the carrot plantations, you enter in to the jungle. Easy to find the way as footpaths are there. Total hike is up to 2 hours.. Camping: Misty & windy atmosphere on the top. For your campfire, enough firewood can be easily found on the top. No leaches. Single layer tents are not recommended since rain water can be leaked in to the tent with the wind. Temperature feels almost 0°C in the winter. If you are lucky, you can see a scenic view of the sunrise in a clear morning..

    Chariot path, one of the beautiful full places that evry hiker should go. Hike takes around 2-3 hours ( if you are a experienced one) If you are going to do camping there, be ready for cold weather.

    Chariot Path of King Rawana is a Grass land (Plain) on a top of a mountain range that is surrounded by a pigmy forest, which looks like a pathway. It is a remarkably beautiful place, which has breathtaking views and unspoilt extraordinary environment. This is located near Frotoft Tea Estate in Pussallawa, Sri Lanka. This is believed to be the route, which King Ravana took Seetha from his capital city Lankapura to Ashoka Vatika by his chariot to show her the beauty of his kingdom. There is a pond called Seetha tear pond, which can be found in the middle of the chariot path and is believed it is formed by her tears. Villagers called this area as Meththappu and Pittani.

    It's not the beautiful place we seen from the pictures. Camping distroyed this place by polluting the environment. Each sight from the top sees campfire points which burns the grass cover. Also its sad to see that the people cut down the tree for fire wood. Cloud forest coved the top makes scenic view by remembering the greatest King Ravanas story of took Sitha in his chariot to show the beauty of his kingdom.

  • 5/5 Viraj R. 4 years ago on Google
    It's very attractive location you have to reach by nearly 5km hiking through a green vegetation and a cloudy forest.

  • 5/5 Kaushalya S. 4 years ago on Google
    Best place for a camping night. The route to top from Hewaheta does not include enough suitable places to rest. I think the route via Frotoft is easier than Hewaheta route. You can see Kothmale reservoir while your hike, if you use Frotoft route.

Chariot Path is a plain in Nuwara Eliya District. It is believed that this is the place where King Rawana showed Princess Sita the beauty of Ceylon after she was brought there. Chariot Path is also known as the route taken by Ravana's chariot located at the Ramboda end of the Pidurutalagala mountain range. To this day no vegetation is cultivated in the plain and it consists only of grass. Is another legend. This mountain range is located at an altitude of more than 2100 m above sea level and is very similar to the Maha Eliya Plain or Horton Plains Park. The Pidurutalagala Reserve is located on one side and the Kotmale Oya on the other side. From here, Sri Pada, Pidurutalagala, Kikiliyamana, Peekok Hill, Kotgala, Grigala. It offers beautiful views of the central highlands, including the mountains. The specialty here is a small pond at one end of the plain that does not dry up even during severe droughts. According to the folklore, this pond was created from the tears of Goddess Sita who was brought by Ravana and the villagers believe that this pond will not dry up even during any severe drought.
